I love to Scuba dive and am a master diver. I did scuba dive for a week on the Great Barrier Reef off of Australia just after the movie, Finding Nemo came out. We found lots of clown fish and I came home and told my kids (ages 4-12) that I found Nemo!

Manhole… e… When I was 7, my brother and I went to the Circus at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake

  • City. My dad was going to pick us up
  • afterwards. We walked out to State

Street to wait for him. There was lots of construction and open manholes. My brother was climbing in and out of them. I said “I wonder what would happen if someone fell in?” We waited. I got bored and walked up the street a bit and then began to walk backwards, watching for my dad’s car. My brother turned around and I had disappeared…into the

  • manhole. My brother climbed in and

rescued me. I cut my eye, just below my eyebrow and had to have 7 stitches.
